2009 Football Parking Guide and Application
Dear Gamecock Club Member, We hope you enjoyed the 2008 Gamecock Football season at Williams-Brice Stadium! As part of our continuing efforts to improve and enhance the game day experience for our fans, you may have noticed several changes both inside and outside of the stadium. The biggest change for the upcoming season is the renovation and beautification of the South Carolina State Fairgrounds. This approximately $4.3 million project that the Fairgrounds is undertaking includes the addition of a new grass parking surface, curbing, and paved drive areas with improved landscaping features. Other elements, such as the planting of Palmetto trees and other native foliage throughout, will help to transform the Fairgrounds into an area fit for Gamecock Football fans. Due to the change in the configuration of the Fairgrounds parking, all Reserved Fairgrounds parking spaces will be reassigned based on priority point totals. Members with spaces in other lots will be able to renew their spaces as well as request to change lots. All new applications for parking will also be allocated based on priority point totals. This brochure includes diagrams of the new Fairgrounds parking area and an overview of all game day parking lots. Please return the attached application to reserve your parking space for another exciting season of Gamecock Football! Go Gamecocks!

Parking Improvements The improvements to the 30-acre parking area will result in approximately 4,000 parking spaces that will be available for events at the fairgrounds, as well as University of South Carolina football games. The project is scheduled for completion in June 2009. The parking area features paved driving aisles and parking spaces composed of Bermuda grass. The area will be heavily landscaped, with a 25-foot landscaped area surrounding the site and landscaped islands interspersed among the parking spaces. The landscaping features native trees and shrubs and local favorites such as live oaks, red maples, black gums, crepe myrtles, sabal palmettos, tulip poplars, abelias, and tea olives that are designed to provide aesthetic interest throughout the year and spectacular foliage during the fall. An irrigation system will be installed for maintenance of the trees and shrubs. The parking improvements also include new lights and poles.
